[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you suggesting that it was part of "the plan" for BASIS to succeed with advanced students by holding back struggling kids who then drop out in shame?

Seems like a pretty cruel way to provide a superior education to those who can handle it.  I hope that's not the case and if it is, I hope parents of the select don't approve of it.[/quote]

I think it is cruel to socially promote kids who then end up being not able to read or compute or function in society. Basis will be providing ample support to students who want to make it.[/quote]

From all I have seen, schools like Basis are bending over backward to keep up their end of the bargain toward providing a high-quality education.  They have tutoring sessions and all kinds of other extra resources available to the struggling kids.  The more important and more-ignored challenge that should be focused on is for the students, parents and the community to keep up their end of the bargain.  If the struggling kids can't keep up it will more likely be because their families won't back them up, won't support them toward getting the extra tutoring and help to catch up, then that is not the fault of Basis.[/quote]
